e-revo to e-slayer just a thought

hey guys i was wondering about doing the conversion because it seams like you would get a lighter and
therefore faster truck i would be doing it with the dual titans if i did it but i was wondering how much it
would be to convert and would you get more battery life and speed and thoughts or pics of a e slayer set
up would be appreciated.

It cost me just under $100 for all the arms, pushrods, rockers, steering rids, rims, and foams. I got the bumpers free and used axels and toe links from one of my slayer pros. I converted it back to a revo so I could get the slayer going again.

but does anybody have this done with a dual brushed set up i kinda want to know how fast it would go verses the e revo
set up and any more pics to add to these ones maybe ones with the bodies on would be appreciated

I just found my next project, going to look for a cheap used revo now and make it into e slayer, I wonder how it would compare to the slash, I've always wondered why the slash never had the progressive suspension set up.

a dual brushed still cant beat the speed of a single brushless, but what i like about brushed is that you can run it on wet surface as long as you are using a waterproof ESC

I think i know my next project after my crawler build is done. Ill build an e slayer next time i have 100 bucks to spend on rc. I would run 1/8 buggy wheels as they are about the same size as sct wheels and are alot cheaper.

After seen Camerons truck I am doing the conversion...thanks for the pics guys.

I was afraid of breaking the Slayer shafts, and I since I use Summit long shafts in my Revo, I had some short shafts lying around. I cut em down even more, and have been running them in my E-Slayer without a single failure.

I forgot to mention ordered the pro bumpers, pushrods and toe links. I have heaps of summit shafts...I never thought of cutting them back. When stock fail I will do the summit mod. Also going to run mod 1 like Cameron. What gear setup are you runnig?

Thanks mate...as this will all be trail and error for me and only running 4s on stock traxxas diffs. I was going to try 19/38, 19/40, 20/38 and 20/40 on mod 1 and see how that goes with heat issues with the motor.

I hope these traxxas diff aren't going to be like the way they were in my eRevo and actually last. I have just recently done the LST2 conversion on eRevo so have all these old diffs lying around that I will use.

What diff K you running in your truck? I was thinking maybe 30K all round.

Cool! I've been wanting to throw some Badlands or Big Blocks on it and go tear up some grass!

Gauging from your response that was a good buy . I've had my fair share of tyre failures of trial and error to find a combo I like on my eRevo. Tyre and rim options are costly when you don't know what you doing.

Thanks for all the info mate...the waiting game has begun on parts to arrive. I just need to find the time to build it then. I'm sure my kids will be excited to see another edition to the family.
